Mount the D‑Ring with the opening aligned to the cable path to allow smooth cable entry and exit.
-
Secure the D‑Ring to a suitable surface or rack frame using appropriate fasteners.
-
Avoid exceeding the capacity of ~110 Cat 6 cables to ensure proper cable integrity and avoid deformation of the ring.

Considerations
-
For larger or shielded cable bundles, consider using a larger D‑Ring (such as a 5‑inch model) or multiple D‑Rings spaced appropriately.
